Sometimes you might need to alight a column on the right to display or indicate that it's a numeric column. To do that, you can use the "columnDefs" property and pass in the targets, which is the index value of the column, and specify the class that you want to apply to that column.
$('#my-data-table').DataTable({
    columnDefs: [
        { targets: [1, 2], className: "text-right" },
    ]
});
For this example, we are using text-right, Tailwind CSS classes, which are ready out of the box. Do note that the index which in this case 1 and 2 is the column number, allows you to target which column should be applied with the class above.
